6700, The Crystal Ship. 0052-0100, 21 Nov 07. Mr Poet locking through Chickamauga on yet another unusual frequency. A weak signal with fades and some dead air during the bx. I managed to hear Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine, and Journey to the Center of Your Mind by Young Ted and the Amboy Dukes. Unfortunately, the reception was marginal.

3945: Weekend Music Radio now moved here to clear way for Reflections Europe. Heard @ 1450, talking about offshore radio. Fair signal but some utility noise. SINPO 33333. Signal at 1615 had improved to 44433.

4025: Laser Hot Hits playing Blondie "Heart of Glass" @ 1405. Fair signal. Nothing on 6421 at this time. SINPO 34333.5802: Radio Telstar South slight off its usual 5805 frequency. Heard @ 1050 with the Golden Boys playing music from Marmalade. Usual slick programme. SINPO 34333.

6270: Radio Royal (tent) came on after Mazda signed off, playing OMD @ 1105, ID and email address ....@live.nl Bad modulation (could be same station that was on 6303 earlier). SINPO 34333. (According to Dr Tim's news station name is Radio Royal and email address is radioroyal @ live.nl)

6280: Radio Merlin Int coming in well @ 1040, playing the Rolling Stones. SINPO 43433.

Log from Joe Wood in Greenback, Tennessee. Unusual frequency for a North American pirate:

3420 The Crystal Ship. 0303-0308*. 12 Nov. English. The Xtal Ship sailing the pirate seas on another odd frequency. I heard the last few minutes of the bx. Music included a Sea Chantey and a punk rock sounding song, and audio clips including something by Jack Webb from Dragnet. I lost the signalat 0308 w/o sign off ancmts. Fair to Good.

4025: Laser Hot Hits with Jolly Roger playing Ronnie & The Datonas @ 1635. Good signal at the moment, pushing S9+10dB. SINPO 44433.6275: Laser Hot Hits heard with "More Than A Woman" @ 1400, then off for a few minutes before returning. SINPO 34433.

6306: Radio Brandaris and Radio Altrex both on the same frequency @ 1515. Brandaris slightly the stronger but both cancelling each other out. Shame they couldn't check the frequency before signing on. Brandaris signed off around 1630, SINPO 34433.6310: Radio Altrex playing schlager @ 1155. Weak signal with fair peaks. SINPO 24332.

6311: Radio Altrex now moved @ 1520 to avoid clash with Brandaris, playing rock music. SINPO 34333.6421: Laser Hot Hits with a programme about the making of the record "Telstar" @ 1040. Fair signal and clear channel. SINPO 34433.

6305: Radio Underground heard @ 1030 talking about Radio Telstar South, strong utility over the signal at this time. SINPO 43433. Wiped out @ 1055 by strong station. Deliberate jamming or just careless??

6305: Unid strong station playing dance music @ 1055 over Radio Underground. SINPO 43433.

6400: Weekend Music Radio had the best signal this morning with S9+20dB. Heard @ 0930 playing ZZ Top. Jack was talking about looking for a new frequency to avoid QRM from North Korea in the afternoon. SINPO 54444.
